Last month I shared my pictures from the beginning of 2015 where I found enjoyment and inspiration in the street art of Penang, Malaysia.
(If you didn't see it before, you can see that earlier instalment here: http://snigskitchen.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/november-2015-favourites-list.html)
But the energy, free expression and beauty of their heady and superbly creative art scene cannot be encapsulated in just the one set of photos.
As a result, I am going back to Penang to bring you some more amazing street art images, encompassing humour, romance, whimsy, technique and soul.
Recipes:
Lentil and apricot pilaf with spiced cauliflower: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-drink/recipes/lentil-and-apricot-pilaf/
Crap at baking like me? How about making a mug cake! With either a creme egg or Lindt choc ball melty middle? http://metro.co.uk/2015/05/15/1-minute-mug-cake-recipe-triple-chocolate-and-oozy-salted-caramel-5198413/
